Elena I was the first Queen of Stoinia and its Star Kingdom. She was an excellent orator and helped heal the nation from her brother's mad reign.

Early Life
Contrary to her older brother, Elena loved the many traditions that came with being a royalty. Not growing up as the direct heir to the Throne, she enjoyed many PR tasks needed of the other royalties. She travelled throughout the many colonies and helped Stoinians with their day to day tasks, easily viewed as a true woman of the people.

Reign
After the sudden demise of her brother, Carol I, she took the responsibility of the Throne. The reputation of the Royal Family was at stake. She set out to do what she did best. Help the Stoinians through many visits. Some started to openly criticize her as she didn't focus enough on politics by some and by others because she was taking too long to find a suitable husband. Luckily she would meet him on Elysium during a state visit. However there were some complications as she couldn't receive the name of her husband as was tradition in Stoinian Orthodoxy, but their children also couldn't receive the surname from their father. This set a certain unease at the beginning of their relationship. However after a few years they knew they were made for each other and this resulted into their first heir, Mihai. Whilest she certainly deserved the Nickname Queen-Mother, she mostly lefts the politics to the Chancellor with whom she shared most of their views.
The Queen-Mother set out to heal the wounds made by her brother and succeeded in it. Although she frequently got into discussions with her heir about politics, she managed to instil in him the honourable virtues which her brother lacked.

Death
At 65 T-years old, she set out to help a small virus infection on a rural world. Against the recommendations, she sat out to help nurse the sick. Eventually she herself caught the disease, yet even then she continued to take care of those worse than her. She would also have long talks with her family in her last days. Even abdicating before her death and ensuring a peaceful transition. After her death, her remains were buried with the victims of the virus as her corpse was unable for a state funeral due to the risk of contamination. For this reason the 15th of November, the day she died, is Queen's Day. Each year her sacrifice and those of the other Queens are remembered from her death on.
